FUN FACTS ABOUT BROCCOLI
Broccoli is considered a super vegetable because it is packed with vitamins.
It was introduced in the United States by the Italian immigrants and it took quite a while for it to become popular.
Nowadays the Unites States is the third world producer of broccoli, after China and India.
Some people love broccoli and others hate it. There was even an American president who hated it so much that he banned broccoli – oh, the things you can do when you become president 🙂
